Death Guns In Another World

After one of the cardinals left, the meeting continued; they mainly discussed countermeasures against the crisis they were currently facing.

Suddenly someone came running inside the meeting room; it was the man in charge of the empire's intelligence network.

A frail-looking middle-aged man with the appearance of a scholar,

''Holy father, the situation isn't looking good.''

''Speak!" The Pope ordered with a frown.

The middle-aged man with the scholar look gulped before taking out a stack of paper and began reading it.

''Not only did we lose two important buildings and our members, but we also lost the donation collected-"

The man had not finished reading the pieces of information collected before the Pope stood up; his face had lost all colors; if previously the damages suffered could have been minimized, losing their donations was a huge matter, but it was not the only thing that made the Pope's face lose color, it was because he thought of a dreadful possibility, what he would do if he were in the other's shoes; finally he understood the last words uttered by Julius.

''Immediately contact every church across the world and order them to hide the donation, not tell them to head back with the donations. Hurry up.'' Lucius shouted as if he had gone mad.

The cardinals hurriedly took out various communication stones to contact the churches worldwide to warn them, but it was already too late; a desperate cry was heard coming from the other side. Clowns appeared everywhere, destroying the churches and stealing their donations.

Lucius stood there like his soul had left his body; he understood that he had lost big this time; everything was because of one man, one youth. He dealt him such a severe blow he would never forget as long he lives. Lucius didn't blame the emperors and the others for using this opportunity to earn some money; after all, if he were in their shoes, he would have done the same thing; everything was because of that young man.

At this moment, Lucius regretted deeply, not because they had kidnapped Luna, but he regretted having underestimated the boy known as Alexander Kael Touch; he must have eliminated him a long time ago; if he had done that, maybe today's problem would be avoided.

However, it was too late to regret; what needed to be done was to at least cut some loose; Alex had to die, only his death would appease his anger.

Lucius had never been so angry in his life. As proof of the anger that he was feeling at the moment, his lips curved upward slightly, and a slight smile escaped from his mouth.... Just like what happened to many people when their anger reached a certain level, the Pope began to laugh softly as he took a step forward.

''I want him dead by tomorrow night. Send Lazarus with two others templars; I don't mind if you kill one of his women in the process. Also, immediately contact the churches that have not been assaulted yet and order for a temporary retreat. We must not lose any more money.'' Lucius instructed before disappearing; he went to see how the preparations were going on.

After the Pope left, the cardinals and high priests discussed of countermeasures and succeeded in alerting some of their churches that had not been attacked yet. They were not happy even after preventing more losses because the number of donations they lost was too huge; it surpassed half a million gold coins, an astronomical amount of money.

Just before night arrived, Lazarus and three templars left for the Far East Empire; their goal was to kill Alex. The cardinals went to their respective mansions.

Night finally arrived.

Darkness had descended upon the city . The sun had long hidden itself away beneath the horizon. Tonight it was moonless; the world was dark as if a terrible beast wished to devour the earth.

Above the cloud of the Holy capital were a man and woman. The man was handsome, with black hair and heterochromia eyes. The woman was simply breathtaking; her beauty was out of this world, long silver hair accompanied by beautiful silver eyes.

''And now?'' The woman with silver hair asked the young man; he chuckled and said.

''Nothing, we just have to wait. Zero and Alpha must be about to make a move now.''

Naturally, the young man was none other than Alex, who had just arrived, and the silver-haired beauty was Silveria. The reason they didn't infiltrate the capital right away was that the empire was on alert and also because Alex wanted to leave the two women, Alpha and Zero complete their mission before infiltrating the capital. He was not in a hurry to rescue his woman as now that he was above the capital, a few miles away from the tower of babel, Alex could feel Luna's presence; she was being held hostage on the highest floor; it would not be easy to get there, but he had the perfect trigger for this, the death of a cardinal would shake the capital, sending it into a frenzy which would be a perfect opportunity for infiltration.

''Huh?'' Silveria frowned as her eyes turned northwest, in the direction of the sea. This sea route was used to reach the Far East Empire.

''What is the problem?" Alex asked; unlike Silveria, even after becoming a demigod, his senses didn't become exceptional as Silveria's senses, especially his Divine Sense.

''I felt four strong presences surrounded by a heavy death aura in that direction. If I guess correctly, they must be heading toward the Far East Empire.'' Silveria explained, the four presences she felt were naturally Lazarus and the three templars sent to assassinate the fake Alex.

Alex chuckled and immediately understood what was going on.

''Those four must have been sent to assassinate me before I reach the Far East Empire. I guess the Pope must have been furious to have decided to do this.''

Silveria rolled her eyes at her master; the Pope was right; nobody would have stayed silent after suffering so many attacks. She shook her head and thought that the past few days had been more enjoyable than the time they spent together because Alex showed how smart and vicious he could be once his reverse scale was touched.

Suddenly, Silveria's eyes narrowed, and she smiled.

'It's time. It's about to get interesting. I wonder how he would react after this.' She mumbled while her eyes followed two shadows moving in the darkness.
